-
Procedure
1. Prepare your area and ingredients (20 – 30 minutes). Also make a sign or recipe card to promote your smoothie.
2. Each group will demonstrate making their smoothie in front of the class. As they make a smoothie the group members need
to describe to the class what they are doing.
3. Once the smoothie is made, one demonstration smoothie will made in a fancy glass with a garnish for judging its appearance.
The rest of the smoothie will be poured in small cups for tasting and judging by the rest of the class.
4. Each of the other groups must judge the smoothie according to criteria as they watch and taste. The group must be willing to
compromise and decide on a mark together.
5. We will repeat the demonstrations, tasting and marking for each of the groups.
6. Finally, all garnished smoothies will be lined up for final judging.
7. Now each class member will order a smoothie from one of the other groups top enjoy. Each person will need to think of a 1 st,
2nd and 3rd choice as there will only be 4 of each smoothie. Each group then makes one blender of smoothie to fill their
orders. Each group will offer a light snacks with their smoothie.
8. After this each of the groups will wash their dishes and clean up.
